Again, discipline and punishment are intertwined with typical results.The family discord has been in progress for about two weeks, said the man, attributing it, in part, to the laxness of previous discipline...
...The next evening, a second family meeting was held to announce that the top level of presents - about $700 in video games - would be sold on the computer auction site. The oldest boy, the man said, responded with a challenge to carry out the threat.

Reminds me of our next door neighbors when I liverd in Atlanta. They bought their 16 yr old a car with dire warnings about what would happen if he messed up. One of the first things he did was get a car load of friends and they all skipped school in the car. His mom and dad sold the car and the mom, for the next several weeks, drove him to school and walked him to class. It put the fear into every teenager in the neighborhood and the next car that boy got he paid for himself. I don't remember him ever straying from the straight and narrow again.
The important thing isn't selling the stuff. It's that, if you say behavior A will result in punishment B, then behavior A NEEDS to result in punishment B -- every time. That works.
